    have you installed dodgy drivers? The hook driver Insektors 3.0 had a bug which stopped your comp from recognising drives. You might have to install some of the firmware from the manufacturers site.

    Are you running an nForce-based board?

    Which is master, and which is slave? Is the one on the end of the IDE chain the master, or the slave? Also, have you tried reinstalling the chipset drivers?

    P.S. - Triple-check that the cable is not damaged or partially unplugged!
